24-port managed data centre switch

The Brocade BR-VDX6720-24-R is a 24-port managed switch built for rackmount deployment in virtualised data centres. It delivers 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity through SFP+ ports and uses port-side exhaust airflow. The unit ships with two 250W AC power supplies and runs Brocade VCS technology for Ethernet fabric creation.

Rackmount form factor with dual power supplies

The 1U rackmount chassis fits standard cabinets and draws cooling air from the port side, simplifying hot-aisle or cold-aisle layouts. Dual 250W supplies provide redundancy without extra cabling. No transceivers are included, so the 24 SFP+ cages accept the optics your fibre or copper links require. The 16.10 lb weight is supported by typical rack rails.

Suits fabric-focused cloud builds, not small offices

Engineers building Brocade VCS fabrics for cloud or virtualised workloads gain a managed Layer 2 foundation with 24 10GbE slots. Organisations needing integrated routing, PoE, or a smaller port count should evaluate other platforms. Buyers who require pre-installed optics or a different airflow direction must source those separately.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained throughput on the 24 SFP+ ports of the Brocade VDX 6720-24-R?

Each of the 24 SFP+ ports runs at 1 or 10 Gigabit Ethernet, so the port speed itself is the first bottleneck under continuous load.

How much heat and power should I plan for when the switch runs all day with both 250W supplies?

The two included 250W AC power supplies deliver the power the chassis needs; exhaust airflow is port-side, so hot air leaves toward the cold aisle.

Which optics must I already have to use the 24 SFP+ ports on this switch?

The unit ships with ports only and no optics, so you need compatible SFP+ transceivers for every 1 or 10 Gigabit Ethernet link you intend to run.
